  • Today, it's easy to share viral videos on Facebook, UA-cam, or TikTok, but back in 2006, the phenomenon was just in its infancy. Here's what the founders of UA-cam had to say about the potential for videos online.

      might not happen because it doesnt fit well with modern youtube because its just music and kids channels going viral in 5 minutes

      @@MightyJKF The whole point is to introduce yourself via broadcast in any kinds of categories in it. Even animation and music is considered to be more acceptable in UA-cam for a long time.
      But with the "kids videos", it's still a content but it's utterly disgraceful to the slogan.

    I was a teenager and within the first few months the site existed I was on it. It's crazy to look back at the 2000s and how it looks like the late 90s now. Perception of time is a wild thing.

    Good old UA-cam during the MySpace era. Thumbs down votes, the site being down for scheduled maintenance at semi-regular intervals, not being forced to sit through ads (let alone several on one video), Movie Maker AMVs being the most watched thing on here.....surprised they're still a thing, i assumed they were a relic from pre-2010

    I miss old youtube. Back when you could be whoever you wanted. Not sitting through a million ads. UA-camrs posting for fun and not money/clout. When you could post whatever you wanted without monitization. Unfortunately, those times are gone, and now UA-camrs just makes unfunny, cringe for a profit. The sad part is that UA-cam became just like these greedy cable companies in the video. The very thing that they tried to fight😢

    Anyone remember actually going on UA-cam back in 2007 when it was called *"broadcast yourself"* ?. I do, I was 9 years old and I'd always watch "The evil strawberry" by albino Blacksheep and FRED and Eds World and also at the time there was all these very well done stick figure animations coming out. Remember stick pivot animator too!?. 2007 was also the days where everyone had that typical small white home computer , and the top of the line operating system was Windows Vista. And 2007 was also the time period where everyones 12-14 year old brothers that were born 1993-1995 were frying the computer watching pornography, good times. I remember my friends older brother wasnt very secretive about his hormones or any of that stuff, he sang like micheal jackson and was a womenizer, but back in 2007 he let me see a clip, tbh I probably entered the room and he decided "whatever". I understood nothing of what was going on, but my penis kind of did, I couldn't really understand what was going on but I knew I enjoyed seeing it.
